BASELINE ITEMS – REDS CARAVAN POSTER #6

If you missed it yesterday – the Reds avoided arbitration by signing to 1-year contracts through the 2012 season RHP Homer Bailey, LHP Bill Bray and IF Paul Janish… RHP Jose Arredondo and RHP Nick Masset are the only remaining Reds players eligible for arbitration.

Our man Rich Linville recently took part in the brand new MLB Network game show called Baseball IQ. He took some time to send in a full report (and photos). Enjoy…

I can’t tell you how I did, of course, but I will say the game is challenging. Oftentimes, you can’t believe how obvious the answers are, after they give them to you.

One of the pictures is the wall of signatures from players & other celebs who have visted the studio. I was looking for Johnny Bench or Joe Morgan and the 1st name I saw was Regis Philbin. Also, there is a closeup of Barry Larkin’s signature that he signed last week after he was elected to the Hall of Fame.

One hallway is lined with pictures of the MLB Network analysts. I took a photo of Sean Casey’s pic.

The other 2 pics are from the studio, after our show when the lights were turned off.

The people at the network have been really nice. Being in a place that is nothing but baseball is awesome. Truly an unforgettable experience.

Thanks

Rich
